Collingwood
by Shen, Li

It’s before winter
The wind tells trees
All the corn-fields
Are turning yellow
And the mountains are shining gold
I should store my firewood
In my mind
It will be in blossom
On winter nights

In the early morning of Thanksgiving Day
In Collingwood, I happened to see Streep
I met her lots of times
During these past twenty years
She has a hundred names
But I know only one— Streep
Before I never knew Collingwood
Before I never knew Streep

The agent is a French descendant
And she is an awake beauty
She persuades people to buy
1/17 of a home that is beside Georgian Bay
For three weeks vacation each year
Oh, if you could divide your beauty
Into 17 parts and you’d still be so beautiful
My dear, I would buy the 1/17 of the suite
